The reports reaching the press, OF the
drouth conditions OF that country lying
between lake Michigan and the Missis-
sippi and south of the lakes, show a
very alarming state OF affairs. The
high winds, finder like condition OF all
oombustible things, and forrest and
prairie fires already raging, give oCca-
sion for the gravest fears. The great
fires OF 1871 did not start so early nor
was the season as dry as now and yet
the loss in property and life was appall-
Ing. Speedy and copious rains alone
can save that section from destruction.

Fools may point out evils In political

able to show how to avoid them. The
evils OF assessing the expenses of politi-
Cal campaigns upon candidates Ia once

cally since the foundation Of this gov

more times before any solution Is offered.
The public will not pay these expenses.
The public pays The necessary election
expenses, but beyond that it will not
pay. The expenses Of the campaign
must be borne by private individuals,
or by political associations; and, greatly
as it is TO be desired, il may be accepted
as gospel that the time is far distant
when q strict exemption ia made OF
those who are candidates from all ex-
penses OF the campaign in which they
are primarily interested. IL may be
said, and do doubt with great truth, that
a public office is not for the benefit OF
the individual but for the good OF the
state, and that taxing the candidate for
expenses that virtually amount to a
purchase OF his office only breeds cor
ruptiOn-all this may be so and yet no
relief is afforded by merely saying SO.
Let those who are Of opinion that some
other method should be adopted, and
no assessments made upon candidates
for campaign expenses Of any kind, let
these refOTmers point out some practical
way Of meeting the expenses which
now attend the conduct Of a political
campaign. 1t will be q long time before
the answer comes.

to-day says: For some time past there
have been ominous mutterings in the East
bound Freight Committee, which have
Threatened a storm liable to sweep it out
OF existence, and the elimination q the
trouble is close at hand. The settlement
Of old balances is the alleged cauae Of all
the difficulties which have existed. It lis
claimed that for years past the sRsynold
Brothers, Of Toledo, have had an advant-
sgeous deal with the Wabash, whereby
they secured rates and debarred small
dealers and elevators from competing with
them, and It is further alleged that the
Wabash received SAT 900 for shipments
made through this tirm, alone, which was
thereby kept out Of the pool and was clear
profit to tho Wabash. 5.5si.
The other lines in the committee kept
close watch upon these shipments, and, it
is alleged, discovered that the greater
portion Of the grain consigned to the Rsy-
mold Brothers, ut Toledo, passed through
their hands, and at the proper time the
matter Was sprung at meeting Of the
Eastbouud Committee, resulting in the
WaDash latly refusing to permit the
business to be included as through traffic.
There the matter stands and the result Of
the trouble can only be aurmised. liJOE

Mr.. Brown addressed the Senate in Oh.

an imperceptible influence in public
affairs, much greater than she could. II
female suffrage were enacted. It might
be qualification to the small minority of

Mr.. Dolph favored the resolution. The

Mr.. Eustia inquired Of Mr.. Dolph
whether he did not think, II woman ha
the right Of suffrage, she ought also to be-
required to serve on juries. -Sr n
MIR. Dolph said that that did not mecca.
sarily follow. There Was no counec,inn
between jury service and tho right of suf.
irage, but In Washington Territory, where
women had tho right Of suffrage, they elso
served on iurles, and to the great satisfac.

Mr.. Dolph replied that there was moth

quired to serve. on Jury. ~, ~
Mr.. Vest spoke in opposition. II this

stroyed, it would be through iniudicious,
Immature or corrupt suffrage. Ii was moi
on the spa'ssly settled prairies OF the
West that an ultimate test OF the merit Of
wonaRs suffrage could be had. -
Mr.. Blair made an argument in favor of
the resolution. The real question for the
Senate was not whether 1t favored woman
suffrage, but whether it would consent 10
submit the question to the Legialature Of
the several States. He believed that in
tho agitation Of this question lay the fate
OF republican government, and in that re-
publican government lay the fate Of
mankind. The vote was then taken on
the resolution, and it was rejected

Judge Love notified Attorney General
Baker OF the proceedings, and at his re-

are now wards OF the Federal court, and
therefore exempt from the CLARK law.
They began selling beer again on Satur.
